Chicken Bill - Daniel Romano[00:00:00]
Well I was born in a small border town[00:00:12]
And I left home at a young age[00:00:14]
And headed on down[00:00:15]
And I started walking[00:00:18]
Following a white line[00:00:20]
I was on the side of a wild rush end freeway[00:00:23]
With one pair of clothes[00:00:25]
And nothing else to my name[00:00:26]
When a lorry would pass[00:00:27]
I would pick myself up with[00:00:28]
A new coat of grit[00:00:29]
And a fresh layer of dust[00:00:31]
I was dirty[00:00:33]
Fully covered[00:00:35]
And just when the dirt started stinging my eyes[00:00:40]
And I couldn't decide the ground from the sky[00:00:42]
A man pulled over and offered a ride[00:00:45]
So I took it[00:00:47]
I ran right over[00:00:49]
And I got in his truck and sat perfectly still[00:00:54]
And he said[00:00:56]
I just gotta stop off at the mill[00:00:56]
I said[00:00:58]
You can take me wherever you will[00:00:58]
And I asked him[00:01:00]
What do they call you[00:01:01]
And he answered[00:01:02]
Chicken Bill they call me Chicken Bill[00:01:04]
Chicken Bill[00:01:09]
Well on account of the dirt[00:01:11]
He thought I was a man[00:01:12]
And he reached out his mint[00:01:13]
And he shook my filthy hand[00:01:14]
He said[00:01:15]
Boy I got me a farm round the bend[00:01:16]
And I could sure use the help[00:01:18]
If you got time to land [00:01:19]
Catching chickens[00:01:22]
Chopping their head off[00:01:24]
Locking them up[00:01:26]
All right run around[00:01:29]
So I worked for old Bill[00:01:52]
And his beautiful wife[00:01:53]
Who would cook up a chicken for us every night[00:01:54]
And just when I thought everything was alright[00:01:56]
He sat me down[00:01:58]
He said[00:02:00]
I'm skipping town[00:02:00]
Going around[00:02:03]
And I said[00:02:07]
How could you live such a woman behind[00:02:08]
Then the look on his face helped me open my eyes[00:02:09]
And for the first time[00:02:12]
I saw Chicken Bill's other side[00:02:13]
He sat down beside me[00:02:14]
All nervous and shy[00:02:15]
And he told me the real story of Chicken Bill[00:02:18]
